decimal places

[McDonald]

I have a field set up in my table that is set as number and long integer for
format, under decimal places I have 2. My problem is that it always rounds
the numbers. Say I put in 2.2 it changes it to 2 how can I stop it from
doing this?

Long Integer is a data type that only stores whole numbers. You would need
to use Single, Double, Currency, or Decimal data types to store fractional
values.
